Message try a power balance test to see if you can pinpoint the leaky cylinder. you can also get a mechanics stethoscope and listen for it.

hopefully the gasket did not blow, in which case it will need to be removed and replaced. if it is still in tact, then tightening the nuts to spec should work.

in this case, i would try to get a wrench on the manifold nuts, as it will be very very difficult to get a torque wrench on the nuts, especially with heat shields in place. use arm calibration to tighten to spec. dont overtighten though since everything needs room to move from thermal expansion.
